Before you get started on writing your resume, you first need to determine what kind of resume is going to meet your needs. There are three commonly used resume formats in Canada:
Chronological Resume
A chronological resume lists your work experiences starting with the most recent job and going backward in time. This type focuses on career progression and showcases stable work history.
Functional Resume
Functional resumes highlight skills and accomplishments rather than emphasizing chronological work history. They're great for career changers or those with employment gaps.
Combination Resume
Combination resumes blend elements of chronological and functional formats. They showcase both work history and skills, making them versatile for various career situations.
